Safer Clean Up

In addition, drainage plugs in the sump, you can safely remove and correctly dispose of leaks and spills without causing undue harm. Protect your workers properly when you have preventative protection systems in place.
Bunded Work Floor
Our low profile spill bunds can also be joined to create a bunded floor around the work area. An installation like this is ideal for protecting your entire workspace from potentially leaking chemicals or other liquids that cause injury or falls. This safety feature minimises the damage caused by chemicals, not only where they are stored, but also at workstations and when transported through your building or warehouse. These products are designed to protect your working space ensuring no leaks will slow down your productivity.
Prevents Contamination
Containing liquids and chemicals within the bunded catchment area prevents overflow from contaminating any surrounding products or processes. In addition, liquid chemicals can spread quickly, which means that safety measures are required to protect your drains and water supply. It also prevents the leaking chemicals from mixing with other chemical materials, resulting in spontaneous combustion or an adverse chemical reaction. These are all threats to the health and safety within your business operations, and proactively taking care of the issue ensures you have a safer space for workers.
Prevents Corrosion
Corrosive chemicals can cause incredible damage to a work site if they leak. They can destroy flooring, metal work benches or tools, organic compounds, and more. The most popular of our spill pallets and containment bunds are made from roto-moulded polyethylene with injection-moulded polypropylene grates sitting above the catchment area, that can prevent the corrosive substances from eating away at the trays and entering your workspace.
